Getting to the start

SunRail DeBary Station (~1.2 miles away via connector trail)

Getting to the finish

Same as start — Gemini Springs Park

All three race distances (marathon, half, 5K) start and finish at Gemini Springs Park.

Map

Start shuttle

None identified; the SunRail-to-park connector trail serves as the practical link.

Transit card

DeBary has its own SunRail commuter train station (630 S Charles R Beall Blvd) connecting toward Orlando/DeLand, though trains run weekdays only and are not ideal for a weekend race. SunRail uses reloadable fare cards or single-ride tickets from station kiosks; for weekend race travel a rental car is the more practical option since the venue area is otherwise car-dependent.

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

The marathon starts at 7 a.m., the half marathon 7:30 a.m., and the 5K at 8 a.m.,

and all three events are held round trip (out and back) at Jiminy Springs Park.

Marathon half marathon runs along the Spring-to-Spring Trail and Monroe Lakeside Road, and course is completely flat,

so it is easy to manage pace and is USATF certified course, suitable for Boston Marathon qualifying records.

There are supply stations that provide water, sports drink, and gel every 1 to 2 miles, so you don't have to worry too much about separate supplies.

Bib can be received in advance at Central 28 Beer Company on November 12-13, the day before the competition,

and same-day pickup is possible at Jiminy Springs Park starting at 5:30 a.m. Parking is free in a lot within 0.1 mile of start line,

and after completing the race, there will be a 'trailgate' party with beer and barbecue.

Times are local to DeBary. Check the latest official information before the race.
